CHAPTER 1

Overview

This chapter provides a brief description of VeriFone’s VX 820.

VX 820

The VX 820 takes the most usable and ergonomic hand-held PIN pad payment

device and takes it to a new level by adding a color touchscreen display, a larger

keypad, and integrated contactless capability. It is designed to fit in a variety of

payment environments to suit nearly any need. With VeriFone’s patent-pending

MAXui design, enhanced with a robust 3.5” color QVGA display, and larger blue

backlit keys, the device is easy to use under any lighting conditions. A tapered

design and ergonomically balanced midpoint help the VX 820 fit comfortably in

even the smallest hands, and the rugged design holds up to the most demanding

conditions.

The VX 820 is a programmable device, allowing a custom or EMV-approved

transaction application to run from the PCI PED 3.0-compliant PIN pad, either to

meet local regulatory requirements or relieve the ECR or terminal of this task.

Features at a

Glance

The VX 820 has a sleek and stylish ergonomic design that offers power and

performance in a smart card- and MSR-integrated PIN pad device. The VX 820

provides the right combination of features and functions in a sleek, stylish device

that fits in the palm of your hand. This includes a magnetic stripe card reader,

smart card reader, an integrated PIN pad, and optional integrated contactless.

cards or replace the old cards.

To change or install

MSAMs

1Remove the data cable from the back of the unit.

2Place the VX 820 facedown on a soft, clean surface to protect the lens from

scratches.

3Loosen the retaining screw. The restraining screw is captive, which means

that it cannot be fully removed from the slot.

4Slide out the compartment door. The MSAM cardholders are now accessible.

Each cardholder consists of a slot inboard of a numbered tray.

Figure 4 Opening VX 820 Compartment Door

CAUTION

Observe standard precautions in handling electrostatically sensitive devices.

Electrostatic discharges can damage the equipment. VeriFone recommends

using a grounded anti-static wrist strap.

NOTE

Before inserting the MSAM card, position it as shown in Figure 5, with the card’s

gold contacts facing away from you, toward the unit. The cardholder slot in the

VX 820 has a set of contacts. The MSAM card has a notch on one corner to

ensure that it fits into the connector base in only one way; the VX 820 has a

matching notch cast into the backside of the MSAM compartment door to ensure

the MSAM card is positioned correctly when the cover is closed.

The VX 820 has six general cabling scenarios, depending on what the VX 820

connects to:

2RS232 Connection using an External Power Brick

3Direct USB Connection

4USB–Download Support using an External Power Brick

5PoweredUSB connection

6Ethernet Connection with External Power Brick

Connection to

another VeriFone

Terminal

The VX 820 connects to a VeriFone terminal via a straight cable. There is a

minimum power requirement for the VX 820, currently specified as 4.2W. In cases

where the terminal is only able to provide a 7 V DC output to power the VX 820,

the terminal must be able to source at least 0.57 A of current. Otherwise, proper

functioning of the VX 820 is not guaranteed.

CAUTION

Using an incorrectly rated power supply can damage the unit or cause it not to

work properly. Use only a power pack with VPN PWR282-001-01-A (see

Specifications for detailed power supply specifications).

RS232 Connection

using an External

Power Brick

A special dongle cable is used, where one end of the cable plugs into the VX 820

while the other end terminates in a DB-9 connector housing. On the housing, a

DC jack is provided to connect to an external power brick. This is a generic cable

for all RS232-based hosts.

Similarly, a dongle cable is required in standard USB environments. For this cable

option, the host end has a molded housing which exposes the standard USB plug.

This cable option comes with a junction box that provides a mini-style Type B

USB socket for connecting to the USB-based host and a DC jack for external

power connection.

In addition, a Type A USB socket is provided on the junction box to support

application download via a USB thumb drive.

Use the DC jack provided on the USB power cable to connect to an external

power brick. Connect the cable to the VX 820 and plug the male USB connector

into the corresponding USB port on the USB host as illustrated in Figure 10.

Brick

The cable required junction box that provides a standard RJ-45 LAN socket and a

DC jack. However, since most hosts do not support peer-to-peer LAN connection

to a PIN pad, an additional RJ-45 socket is provided on the junction box to allow a

direct connection between VX 820 and the host.

Power Supply

Not all VX 820 configurations and device contexts require the use of a power

supply – VeriFone ships power supplies with the VX 820 as required.

If you have changed the context in which the VX 820 is used or have questions

about which power supply should be used, contact your VeriFone representative.

Before connecting a power supply, disconnect the power pack cord from the

power outlet.

Connect and route all cables between the VX 820, ECR, and PC before plugging

the power pack cord into a wall outlet or surge protector.

When the VX 820 has power and an application is loaded, the application starts

after the initial VeriFone copyright screen and displays a unique copyright screen.

If no application is loaded, DOWNLOAD NEEDED appears on the display after the

initial VeriFone copyright screen.

CAUTION

Using an incorrectly rated power supply can damage the unit or cause it not to

work properly. Use only a power pack with VPN PWR282-001-01-A (see

Specifications for detailed power supply specifications).

WARNING

Do not plug the power pack into an outdoor outlet or operate the VX 820

outdoors. Also, disconnecting power during a transaction can cause transaction

data files not yet stored in memory to be lost.

NOTE

To protect against possible damage caused by lightning strikes and electrical

surges, VeriFone recommends installing a power surge protector.
